✨ This feature is available on all paid plans
Setting up the 'Place an order' Way to Earn
This Way to Earn is one of the main drivers of customer engagement with your Loyalty & Rewards Program. You can reward a fixed amount of points for this earning method, or incremented points based on the amount spent. Choose the best fit for your store and you can always adjust later as your program grows.
From the Rivo Dashboard, go to Programs > Points
Click Edit on the Place an order Way to Earn
Select your preferred earning method:
Incremented Points - Enter the points value earned per amount spent
Fixed Amount - Enter the points value earned per order
Optional: Check the box Limit how many times each customer can earn points for completing this action and set it according to your preference
Optional: Use the default icon or upload a custom icon for your custom action for a more personalized look
Make sure that the Status is
ONClick Save.
We recommend incremented points as this method encourages spending and engagement - simply put, the more customers spend, the more points they earn. With a fixed amount, customers who spend hundreds of dollars on an order earn the same points as those who spend only a few.
Showing potential Loyalty points in your store
Displaying potential points introduces customers to the benefits of your Loyalty program and also builds trust, as you will let them know exactly what they're getting in return for their loyalty. Use the following extensions for visibility:

Go to Settings > Reward Past Actions
Click the Reward Past Actions button
Confirm the action by clicking Continue.
📝 Important Note: Make sure to disable the 'Sign Up' Way to Earn if you only want to reward prior orders.
Common questions
Can I delete the 'Place an order' Way to Earn?
No, but you can turn the rule off. This will prevent new customers from earning points after placing orders in your store.
What status do you take into consideration for adding points?
We rely on the order status, so points are added after the order is created. If the order is canceled or refunded, you can automatically deduct the points through the Points Cancelations feature.
